been ordered to investigate the Cologne

FIRING AT THIBoDEAUX.
Six Colored Men Killed and Five
Wounded in the Melee.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-The Times
Democrats Thibodeaux, La, special says:
"About o'clock this morning some negroes
fired from ambush upon our citizen pickets
who were doing guard duty for the protec-
ton of the town against the idle negroes
that have tlocked here from the plantations.
John j. German was wounded over the left
eye and Henry Malaison in the thigh.
The guns handled by the negroes were
loaded with slugs, not bullets This aroused
the anger of the citizens, and they started
out and killed six and wounded five of the
ringleaders. The town is considerably agi-
tated and under citizen patrol"
A STATEMENT.
The following statement concerning the
affair explains itself:
THrBoDEAux, La, Nov %, 1887.
Our labor troubles had about ceased, when on
Tuesday afternoon the people Of this town
were reliably informed that an attack would be
made upon the town that night. To prevent
any trouble strong guard OF deputy sherlfts
was posted at all the approaches.
They were again fired upon from ambush and
then returned the fire by a general fuslade,
which was kept up until the rioters were dis
persed. some six rioters are known to have
been killed and as many more wounded None
of the other guards of the town were injured
except those above mentioned. Our people are
determined to preserve the peace. The police
and all good citizens are in perfect accord. The
above facts are gained from reliable sources.
TWO MORE GUARDS WOUNDED.
At Z o'clock in the morning two guards, John
j. German and Henry Malaison, two of the most
respectable and esteemed young men Of our
town, were shot from ambush and seriously
wounded Two of their friends rushed to their
assistance, and while they were attempting to
relieve their wounded comrades they were also
fired upon from ambush. Luckily they were not
harmed. A fearful state of excitement arose,
and the armed guard of the town rushed to the
scene of action.

The States correspondent at Thibodeaux
says:
The casualties so far are sufficiently numer-
ous but there is feeling among the best citizens
that the worst is over, that the passions aroused
by the utterances of the NewOrleans Communists
so-caled friends of labor have been stilled and
that no more blood will be sned or more lives
lost. The feeling against these New Orleans
Communists is very strong, and on every side
their conduct is denounced in most unmeasured
terms
